There is a huge competition in tablet market nowadays. There are dozens of companies making tablets among which some are popular giants and someone are new in market. Each company has its own expenses in making their hardware to be used in making tablet. Some company cost high due to hardware they are using is expensive. People in world tend to focus on tablets which have low cost, the reason for that is because they already have laptops and PC’s for larger screen. So they don’t want to invest lot of money in buying tablets which they don’t often use most of time.
So Amazon launch kindle fire at low price than any other tablet in the market in late 2011. Everyone take interest in it and lot of sales happen.
